First thanks for your commit, but you made a big mistake. You assumed we all know French. Please, use English on the Internet and *especially* when programming. What’s »mail_laposte«? And what’s »Fichier«? I know it, because I had to read some code of people assuming people will un‐ derstand their code when everything is French. Please, write in English and go on doing it. This really helps a lot in international communica‐ tion. French is no major language anymore. Just look: I’m not writing this in German and my variable names are not German too. You wouldn’t have understood dwmstatus that good, if it would have German variable names and maybe suckless.org would be »stinkfrei.de« instead, if we would assume the world is speaking German. Please, use English while programming. There is no justification for lo‐ calized sourcecode. Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann
